STATE OF KANSAS.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
TOPEKA, KAN, December q, 1886.
The intelligence of the death of General
John A. Logan will be received with pro-
found sOrIoW by the people Of Kansas.
Thousands OF our citizens were his comrades
during the dark and trying days Of the re-
bellons and to them he was endeared by the
strongest ties of confidence and affection.
All of our people honored him as a soldier OF
conspicuous courage and patriotism, a
statesman OF commanding influence and
dDAlEEEEg anu q GILL en- whose pure DElNEBG
life and stainless public services justly en-
titled him to the highest honors Of the ma
ton.
AS a testimonial of respect for his distin-
guished services and mis- illustrious memory,
the flags on the state house will be suspend
ed at half mast until after the funeral.
JOHN A. MARTIN, Governor.
Senior MulhadO, who was convicted IN
the district court several days ago of viola
ton OF the prOhibitcry law, WAS arraigned
hat Ind NArHkk AhH
Judge ordered him to be imprisoned in the
county iaIl for a period of $50 days and to
pay a fine of $500.
Orders were received at the Office of the
United States marshal in this city, to the
effect that no more United States prisoners
should be sent to the Chester, Ill, peniten-
uarys The reason o this Is that the illinois
authorities had conceived an idea that they
could charge New York hotel rates for tax
ing charge OF Iedecal prisoners. All prison
ers in this district will now be sent to Leav-
enwOrth. The Kansas authorities charge
% cents per day for taking charge of feder-
al prisoners, and in addition to this, the
state receives the amount which the con-
tractor may pay for the prisoners labor.

ton, kan, and grading between that point
and Topeka is progressing as rapidlyas the
weather will permit. It Is difficult to say
when We will reach Topeka, but 1t viii be
at no distant day. AT present, you know,
the weather is so cold that the ground is
frozen hard and thus makes grading Very
difficult. Contracts for grading have been
let west of Topeka as far as the Reno cOun-
ty line"
